Top 3 things learned:
1. In regards to the use of technology with young children, technology should enhance and not replace learning.
2. Make passive technology experiences with children active by asking questions, talking about the experience, doing activities, and seeing how it relates to your life.
3. All the reasons music is needed in child programming, how to implement, and playlists to use.
How to implement:
With exercise and movement the summer reading theme for 2016, implementing techniques from Bibliobop or creating a movement program for young children would be a great way to incorporate what was learned at the conference into summer reading programming.
Additional learning:
